Hi guys,

in current times, in most of the world clubs are closed, parties and festivals are cancelled. And bars and other places generally discourage any kind of party, if they're even open. I totally get it. But I'm very disappointed at the total lack of (relatively safe) alternatives. We're basically told to stay home and social life has taken a backseat and remains to do so for a very long time to come. Specifically meeting new people IRL in a relaxed and fun setting has more or less disappeared (apart from one to one Tinder meetups maybe?).

BEERCRAWL (gobeercrawl.com) aims to bring back partying and casually meeting new people in a comparably safe way, by meeting in a smaller group, outside (abiding by all laws of course, like masks and social distancing) and have drinks, conversation, a laugh and generally a good time. Like a pubcrawl, the group follows a certain route, visiting several places to refill beverages.

I'm curious to hear your feedback!

I understand that this might be controversial for some. We've seen protests and gatherings of thousands of people. Compared to that, in a beercrawl one will usually talk to only a handful of people face to face. So it is rather insignificant.
